Hello there! My name is Nikolai Jónasson and I'm an Icelandic citizen residing in Finland since 2006. With a rich blend of cultural heritage spanning Iceland, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Norway, and Ireland, I bring a unique perspective to my work.
As an artist with extensive experience across the arts, design, and entertainment sectors, I excel in communicating complex ideas visually. Over the past three years, I've specialized in photorealistic product renders, brand development and illustrations as a 3D Designer at Caddyboo.
My current focus is on providing creative services through my personal brand, "A Jono Niko Studio".
